Next time home I promise. Its been a bloody nightmare with work lately and Ive been dumping my gear at the lurgy hotel before dashing for the fight home.

If you believe even a fraction of the other links you post up then surely you know how utterly futile such a petition is?

Was this more aligned with the Private sector? You mean he's one of the few Conservative exceptions? 100% agree. But this is not what we're seeing though is it? Its purely political and nothing more. Well, lets see how it pans out and see if the majority of the Teachers will follow the Unions or will they openly voice their objections to them being used as political pawns with the Children as the fodder. Considering the vast majority are Left leaning and as you say hate the Tories I find it very hard to believe that they will not go along with the Union or will meekly keep their heads down at the very least. The thing of it is though the Unions are making out that its for the safely of the Teachers(against Scientific evidence) So if you're wrong and the Teachers do kowtow to the unions your response will be aligned to that. Its really a win-win situation for you as regardless the outcome you'll have an (on the surface) justifiable response. So you claim, and how do you verify that? It genuinely seems like they are using every trick in the book to avoid doin their jobs. Im not so naïve as to believe the headline grabbing stories are the norm but they are popping up with increasing frequency. Stories such as Teachers refusing to use zoom as its an invasion of their privacy. Teachers pushing back hard against working in the summer holidays. Yes, I understand there is a pay issue here. But supposedly we're all to make huge sacrifices just now. Perhaps this is the Teachers? And I dont believe you can go into such a job and treat it purely as a source of revenue when you have the futures of many children resting in your hands. Again in the Private sector working many hours after your 7.5 hour day ends is not unusual. Even here in Norway when I was office based over-time was included in the salary, some did zero hours OT, some work to 11 each night, it just depends on the project. And right now the project for these heel draggers should be the welfare of the children and not political point scoring or using this crisis as leverage to improve their conditions. Now is really not the time for that. You genuinely dont feel the more ardent members of the Teachers Unions are doing just that? Really?

Ok then. What’s your username and the forum? I know a few Window Cleaners down your way. Window cleanings very territorial and if you’re the Billy Big Balls you say you are it will easily be verified.

I cut a bunch of Larch Cladding and left it in a stack without tickers and it went like this. No surprise there. Ive no real experiance with cladding out in the open air doing this but if he's not planning on putting any preservative on it maybe scrub it down with borax?

Not that daft? You've bumbled around from one failed enterprise after another and now find yourself at the bottom rung and think that anyone would be remotely interested in reading about it. You seem to be confused as to who has had this bump on the head.

Remember to use spell check when you write this best seller of yours.....

There's a lot to get there there and Im short on time as Im doing some electrical testing on Deck. The gist of it seems to be; Yes Teachers are left of center and yes they hate the Tories but no they'd not put politic above the welfare of the children. Which is entirely at odd with the Unions that represent them. I assume you're familiar, or at least aware of who Chris McGovern is? He was previously a Head Teacher yet has real concerns about the militant Teachers Union and how they are weaponising Covid for political aims. I think you're intentionally downplaying the role and reach the unions have with teachers and playing on what you seem to agree on a bunch of Tory hating lefties willing to do whatever it takes to embarrass the Tories and using the Children as collateral. I think the vast majority in the private sector have seen their real life wages diminish over the last 10 years. I know of no one who's had a pay rise of any substance. Im not sure the same can be said for the public sector. I also think there is a number of reasons mature teachers left, particularly male teachers and I dont think the blame can be placed at either Parties feet although I'm sure there is a great number who'd point their finger at Blair. The Oil and Gas Unions in the UK are entirely toothless thee days. Why anyone would continue to pay their dues to them I have no idea. Norway on the other hand is much more unionised, very efficient and have a powerful voice. The members all seem to look after each other regardless of employer and will strike if the Oil Companies are not playing ball. Its meant that we've kept our working conditions during a number of down turns, maintained schedules that our employers would dearly love to remove and kept things like seniority in place, meaning that the Oil Companies cant just lay off the better paid employee in favour of the cheaper and up and coming new hands. With 12 years on a Norwegian Contract I have a fairly sizable cushion if there is lay-offs as anyone with less time in the company that me (with a few exceptions) has to be let go first. But I know where you're going with this. If I have such a strong union behind me, fighting my corner why should the Teachers not have the same thing? Well, for one I tend to find that in the public sector you're far better looked after than in the private sector. Wages, pensions, hours and expectations are all generally lower in the private sector. But the main reason for me is the almost Hamas way in which they are using Children as human shields to further not so much better conditions for the Teachers but for purely political reasons. And what a golden opportunity Covid has proved to be for them.

I dont think he's kept to the same story two posts in a row yet. Its one lie after another.

I think you're over generalising here and also ignoring the fact that the vast majority of Teachers are Left Wing and dare I say it detest everything Tory? The Teachers Union certainly do and you seem to be heavily downplaying the power and leverage the Union has over Teachers as a whole and to think that the Union is not using Covid as a political weapon at the sacrifice of children's education is naïve. Only last night -militant Union members where gloating at the plans they have have in place to keep Schools closed. Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign For Real Education is quoted as saying; ‘The union bosses are holding children to ransom,’ he said. ‘We are in the middle of a major power struggle about who runs education and the children are in the middle of it.’ I also hope the Teachers are offered the vaccine early as well. For two reasons, the genuine teachers like you indicate your wife is so they can get back to educating the children and to end the Unions political interference. It will be interesting to see if the unionized teachers find an excuse not to take the vaccine and continue their power games.

Such a ridiculous statement.

It it leaning back or is it just the photo making it look like that?

I made it halfway though.

His operation is very different than yours. Handles on the opposite side of the machines. Far simpler to just remove a bolt.

Just wait for the well known apologists here scrambling to come up with a reason why this is a great idea. 🧐🙄

I’m thinking of running my Whites Lab metal detector over some logs to see if it picks up metal. Maybe a bit unwieldy but worth a shot? I think Garrett make good “wands” that would be better suited.

Please don’t.

I’ve repeatedly answered your questions but it seems nothing will give you what you consider a satisfactory answer. My thoughts align with that in the link and there is simply nothing further I can nor wish to add to that. Another member here is obsessed with the word dogmatic yet you seem to fit the bill rather well here. I’m sorry I can’t give you the answers that would leave you howling in faux-rage that you so clearly and desperately crave. This will be my final response to you on this matter.

Surprisingly Electrical goods generally are. And also come with a standard 5 year warranty. Electricity is virtually free. About the only thing you really pay for is the line rental. But that’s due to the abundance of hydroelectricity. Sushi grade Salmon. 🤣 Electric Cars whilst maybe not cheaper than the U.K. have such a low tax on them that it’s cheaper to have a top of the range Tesla over something that guzzles fuel. Think that’s about it.

Wealthy ancestors. Millionaire father. Claims that you’re also well off are all completely contradictory to your other posts about how you’re now having to work 7 days a week cleaning windows because your supposedly amazing state pension only covers the mortgage which if you’re that well off, at retirement age and still have a mortgage makes not one jot of sense. So much for the “money gene” when you’re retired and still having to scratch a living doing manual Labour. You really are full of it.

Thanks though.

You’d have to use the Scottish Governments website. But it was updated to say the same thing last night anyway. I’m not downstream though. And if you read the bit at the bottom it’s for workers coming to the U.K. to keep our oil and gas infrastructure running. Not returning from another country where we have kept theirs running.

Believe me I am. 😁 It seems Scotland is making crossing the border and not going into mandatory hotel quarantine illegal. So whilst it would be legal to cross the border I’d have to have already checked into the hotel in my chosen Scottish, or even English city. As things stand it looks like I’ll be finding a as nice a hotel in England as possible within budget to wait out my 10 days. Anything’s better than putting money into that evil bitches grasp.

Like 99% of his other posts then?

See? That proves my point. I went to a state school so it explains why I’m thick as mince and not an millionaire. 😁
